Overview of commonly used microcrystallization techniques and SSX sample environments. Top: commonly applied microcrystallization approaches include (a) hanging-drop or sitting-drop crystallization, (b) batch crystallization, (c) vacuum-induced (batch) microcrystallization, (d) in-chip microcrystallization based on vapour-diffusion protocols and (e) LCP-based microcrystallization. Bottom: commonly used sample environments for serial synchrotron crystallography are (f) fixed-target-based approaches, (g) liquid or viscous jets, (h) hybrid methods such as tape-drive sample delivery and (i) microfluidic systems. |
